I drew you a picture of Chicago for New Years. It’s not very good, but my mental health is a little better. I hope you find healthy outlets for mental health this year, too.

I spent yesterday running on pure adrenaline, crying with people from every background that I knew and didn’t know in bathrooms and hallways. Helping make so many escape plans for gay and trans people. Doing logistics for my visa application. Drinking. Today it’s real. I’m leaving. I’m selling my stuff. My forever home won’t be.

I have the spoons to give you all one or two right now. Americans:
You need to make a risk decision right now about whether to leave the country (particularly if you or family are in a vulnerable group).
Some people do not have the luxury and I deeply respect those who stay to protect them. If you do have the capability to move, there are options, from skills and even apprenticeship visas, to digital nomad, to heritage visas. You have -options. Tons of people have been forced to immigrate for a better life, we have just been privileged to not typically have to. You can sell stuff. It’s just stuff. There are companies who can help you with that. Visas are arcane, but there’s help. Look for the helpers.
It’s expensive, and it takes time and you need to make a plan right now, today. Not three months. Not six months. I’m modeling off the 1930s timetable.
Our federal government and judiciary is done for our lifetime. Period. You have to gauge how much your community and state can protect you from the worst harm, and how self sustaining you can be.
